The Deloitte Center for Government Insights released a report detailing the need for state agencies to modernize their collection and management of child support payments and services. Payments are still being missed, data is poorly tracked, and records continue to be a chaotic and hard to come by. Given the increase in technology today, the report recommends that states modernize and use new state of the art tools to increase payments and services.

Among the findings are:

Shift child support beyond enforcement by working with parents who struggle to make payments.

Some states are working to modernize their systems. For example, New York has a predictive model that pairs caseworkers with parents who may struggle to meet payments. However, others, like certain counties in Nevada, are well behind on modernization. Other states like Alabama, Tennessee, and Kentucky also fall behind.
